Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
Add the green beans to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans.
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and lightly browned. Toss them halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Remove the green beans from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
Serve immediately as a delicious side dish for any meal.
